Dogs Pull Away Late to Beat Goldeyes
ROSEMONT, IL – The Chicago Dogs (7-8) used a seven-run seventh inning to break open a tied game and defeat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 14-7 at Impact Field Sunday afternoon.
Chicago opened the scoring in the bottom of the second inning when left fielder Jacob Maiben grounded into a double play, allowing designated hitter Tyreque Reed to score.
Winnipeg (7-8) moved in front 2-1 in the third on a two-run home run into the right-field bleachers by shortstop Ramón Bramasco. The lead was short-lived, however, as Dogs first baseman Chance Sisco singled to centre in the bottom half to score centre fielder Giovanni DiGiacomo and tie the game.
The Goldeyes scored three times in the fourth. Catcher Raphaël Pelletier singled to right to bring home second baseman Adam Hall and left fielder Jiandido Tromp, before designated hitter Ray-Patrick Didder scored on centre fielder Noah Marcelo’s sacrifice fly to make it 5-2.
Chicago answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Catcher Jaxx Groshans hit a solo home run to left, and shortstop Ethan Wilder followed with a two-run single that scored Jacob Maiben and third baseman Derek Maiben to tie the game 5-5.
Winnipeg went ahead again in the fifth when Hall singled to centre to plate right fielder Max Murphy, but the Dogs responded with two runs in their half of the inning. Derek Maiben singled home second baseman Daniel Harris to tie it, and DiGiacomo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in Jacob Maiben and give Chicago a 7-6 lead.
The Goldeyes drew even for the final time in the sixth when first baseman Roby Enríquez singled to left-centre, scoring Bramasco.
All seven of Chicago’s seventh-inning runs came with two out. Wilder and Reed each delivered two-run singles before Groshans hit his second home run of the afternoon, a three-run shot to left.
Rayne Supple (W, 1-0), Chicago’s third pitcher of the day, worked the seventh and eighth innings, allowing two hits and striking out three.
Kevin Vaupel started for Winnipeg and went 4.2 innings, allowing seven runs, all earned, on 10 hits. He struck out four and walked two. Quinn Waterhouse (L, 1-1) surrendered three runs on two hits in 1.2 innings. Tasker Strobel and Gavan Wernsing also appeared in relief.
